Rapid Cups

RAise the cups!

Stack your cups as fast as you can! Following rules! 32 cups show two of four possible colors - blue, pink, green or purple; the cup itself has always another color than the cup bottom. Cups are dealt to players as stated: Two players receive 16 cups each, stacked in four stacks; three players have ten cups each, minimum two per color, in five stacks, and four players have eight cups each - two per color - in four stacks. In the standard game you stack cups of the same color.

The color fortune wheel shows - at the pressing of the button - the starting colors for two stacks left and right of the wheel; all players try simultaneously to get rid of their cups by stacking them on those two stack. You can only pick up the top cup in one of your stacks and to put it at one of the target stacks your cup must have the same color as the cup bottom showing on one of the stacks next to the color fortune wheel; you put your cup on the suitable stack. If one of your stacks is gone, you can split another stack, but you can never have more stacks than at the start of the game. If nobody can stack, the wheel gives you new colors if you press the button. If you are out of cups, you win.

In the advanced version player stacks can only hold one cup of each color and to stack a cup the bottom of the new cup must have the same color as the top cup in the target stack. You can also decide to play in turn instead of simultaneously and if you cannot stack, you pass your turn.

Stress for fun! Greed cup on green bottom! Quick! Ooh, somebody else was faster! Simple, fun and a challenge to quick spotting, memorizing your cup colors and reacting!
